Seeing the painting process on the left whilst also having Ken/ SLEW on the right helped to bring context to what he was talking about at each stage of the portrait. Thank you for this demo- this is the style of portrait painting that I admire and aspire to create in my own
i just discovered you're channel and maaan that's crazy !! you're talented af and seeing a notification for a new video makes me so happy :) wish you the best
Ya man...Ken is great with instruction, and portrait techniques. 👌 never heard of willow charcoal, but how he used it, looked pretty handy! and I like how he showed the mistakes and how he slowly corrected them! Very informative 👏 turned out great! Thanks Ken and Slew!
Loved to watch the demo, so much information 👍will have to rewatch it! Great edit by the way. With the instructional side on the right and the painting on the left it's very dense in information but never get's boring. Only wished you would also used a mic for your question. But maybe you will let us know what you asked him.
This is what I heard. I used to do closed captioning/transcription 😅 SLEW: "And is that more challenging or it doesn't matter to you? Do you prefer any others? I'm just curious. 'Cause actually, in my practice, I like, not Caravaggio, depth of black shadows, but distinct light and dark. You know, some sort of [unintelligible] shadow shapes. I prefer to paint that. Maybe 'cause it is easier for me to meander through separating light and dark, but I also think it's just, for me, I like the dynamicness of-- not even the contrast in terms of light and dark, just the change, or like when the nose protrudes [pallet knife scraping]. So, what is your opinion on that? Do you prefer one or the other"
Without turning the head from where its at, have the eyes look at the painter who then becomes the viewer later after the painting is finished. Sounds small but it gives u the opportunity to find that special glance that is unique to each sitter. Also, it makes an undeniable connection with the viewer.
It's so worth it to learn oil painting. I started painting with acrylic and watercolor, and after becoming familiar with oil I realized how held back I felt by acrylic and watercolor. Oil paints are much more forgiving then people give them credit for. It stays wet for days, and it's very easy to push, pull, layer and manipulate your paints.
So sad that your painting of you as king Arthur is hanging over the fridge! It's so beautifull i wish we could see it more! Hope you'l keep doing oil it's so good content. Love from france
Me thinking to myself that slew is really good at keeping still... then I realized that it's a loop but this video was amazing thank you slew 👌🏾👌🏾
Hahahahaha yeah that would be crazy … and a waste of footage

Trust me if you buy charcoal go with willow at first and not compressed !!! You’ll see what he meant by it’s highly forgiving

@@space.tel-e-grams Thank you ❤️
Love how he did the flesh tones, but your paintings are a better likeness of you. I think the short time element was to blame

Making me want to learn how to oil paint, even though I’ve always thought of oils as the most difficult medium to learn
